20. As We Gather in the Kitchen

1 As we gather in the kitchen
to prepare, with loving csre,
this hot meal for hungry neighbors,
God we offer you this prayer.

2 We give thanks that you have blessed us
with enough and more to spare.
Like the boy with loaves and fishes,
we are glad that we can share.
